    Am I doing something wrong?

    I have 2 Cuboid Mini's and each has an Ammit with a clapton coil (26/30) at about .35 ohms each. With a full tank I can adjust the temperature to a warm vape (40w) around 400-450. As the liquid is used up I have to continually increase the temperature to maintain the same warm vape. Once I...

    Xtar wp2 ii

    I've been using my trusty old Trustfire TR-001 for charging all my batteries (14500's and 18650's) since I started mod vaping more than 2 years ago and it has never let me down. With my AW IMR 2000 mah 18650's it's been taking an average of 7-8 hours to recharge them with my TR-001 which runs...

    As a Provari owner...

    I need recommendations for a dependable 5 volt backup e-cig. I love my Boge 3.0 ohm cartos at 5.0 volts and want something else that is regulated for 5 volt and uses the 18650 battery, something I can take where I would not want to carry my Provari around with me. Any help would be greatly...

    Looking for recommendations - 5v regulated PV

    I already own a Provari along with many homemade 3.7 volt mods and 1 5v mod, but I'm looking for recommendations for a good quality 5v regulated mod that preferably uses a single 18650 battery. I'm just looking for a dependable backup/out-and-about 5v PV for myself that I can use my 3.0 ohm...

    Charging the AW IMR 2000 mah

    Two questions: 1. My Provari usually starts blinking around 3.4 volts. If I unscrew the cap (completely) and screw it back in, I can get up to 4 hours more vaping time (moderate use) before it starts flashing again and then shows either 3.3 or 3.2 volts. Is there anything wrong with doing...

    A couple of thoughts...

    I've only had my Provari for about a month now, but I've realized a couple of things besides the beauty and benefits of owning one of these. I spend a few hours or more on my computer each night and always have my PV in my left hand as I scan my usual websites. The first night with my Provari...

    Help me understand something about battery use...

    I got my Provari a couple of weeks ago and now that I can adjust my voltage, I'm trying to understand something. I've read so many threads about how if you use a higher ohm carto at the higher voltage, the battery in my Provari will last longer than if I use a lower resistance carto at a lower...

    Help me read this label

    Below is the label on a bottle of nicotine I purchased some time ago, but I cannot remember exactly what the numbers represent. For example, I know it is a 60ml bottle with a 50/50 PG/VG mix of a specific strength of nicotine in it. As you can see the nicotine number reads: 6.0% W / V Can...

    Provari size

    No matter how many pictures or videos of the Provari I had seen before I got mine, it was still much smaller than I had imaged. Here is a picture of my Provari (with extension cap for 18650 battery) next to a soda can for comparison. This is obviously for those considering purchasing one.

    My Provari arrived...

    And I am impressed! It is much smaller than I imagined and with a battery installed about the same weight as a roll of quarters. Build quality is flawless. I unpacked it, put a battery in, put the extension cap on, put my 2.1 ohm carto on and set it at 4.3 ohms like I've owned this thing...

    Just ordered my new Provari...

    So do I have to wait until I have it in hand before I can become a member of the "Provari Family" or can I be Welcomed Aboard early? As you see in my signature I have been vaping for some time. I started out with a starter kit from Smoketip, a KR808D-1 model and I quit instantly after 36+...

    More than 2 years of vaping and I'm in vaping heaven once again...

    36+ years at 2 packs a day and I was one of the fortunate ones who quit smoking instantly in November of '09 with my first e-cig - a KR808D-1. After my first week I ordered my 510 kit and have built a few mods and vaping at 3.7 volts with the 510 attys ever since. They didn't have cartos for...

    2 Years have come and gone...

    At 11:35 a.m. (EST) on November 7th 2009 I put together my first e-cig, a KR808D-1 as I put out my my last cigarette. I took one vape and remember saying "wow" as I almost could not believe how good it tasted. I then put my pack of cigs in a drawer and have not touched a single cigarette since...

    It was one year ago today...

    ... at 11:30 a.m. I heard the mailman come up the street and I lit a cigarette. I went out and greeted him as he waved my package out the window of his mail truck, he knew what I was expecting. I took it from him and told him that this just might be the last cigarette I wll ever smoke. He gave...

    My eclipse tin mod...

    First a great big Thanks to Connman for making and posting the details of his eclipse tin mod. It was his ideas that made it possible for me to make one for myself and I love it. I didn't have some of the same materials to work with so I had to improvise and make due with what I could, but it...

    Hard Draw? This may help...

    I made a post down in the Atomizer Mod section that may provide a solution to some hard draw issues, more like "not enough airflow" issues. It's a very simple mod that I tried and works very well for me. Go Here :thumb:

    The simplest Atty Mod that really works

    Something like this may have been tried and posted previously but I haven't found it, but if it has been please disregard my post. I've been very happy with my 510 with mods for almost 7 months now to include cart mods, battery mods and others. I've purchased a total of 12 attys over time, 6 I...

    Pros & Cons of LR Attys?

    I've seen and read dozens of posts about the new(er) LR (Lower Resistance) atomizers and wondering exactly what the good the the bad are with them. Better vapor, taste? Are they worth paying extra for? Thanks very much in advance! :thumb:

    My lastest mod - Altoids "Mini"

    I love my NicoSticks with the 14500's (900mA) and the battery in them last 6-8 hours depending on how heavy I vape, but wanted even more battery capacity, so... I decided to build another mod as small as I could but utilizing 18650's (2400mA) this time and this is what I came up with and I'll...
